There have been very large arrivals OF
immigrants recently in this country. In
ono week there landed OH an average two
thousand day in the city OF New York.
1t is safe to assume that most OF this large
arrival are of the worthless class. They
are alien to every feature Of our govern
ment and our institutions. This anti
pathy is most marked as regards the
religious beliefs and customs Of this
country. The great danger is that instead
of cheerful and ready adaptation to us
and ours they shall become centers of
disturbance ready allies Of those
whose only ambition is to tear down. If
the NEGRO problem" is so complicated,
the emigration problem is scarcely less
so if there be no restrictions imposed

Treasurer A. L. Hull says he has just
received letter from Gen. Hoke, in
which he stated that contracts have been
given out to grade every foot of the road
from Monroe, N. c., to Chester, S. c.. a
distance of about so miles, and hands are
now at work breaking dirt all along the
line.
There are two corps of engineers in the
field between Athens and Atlanta-one
running route via Lawrenceville, and
the other running from Atlanta towards
Athens. BY the first of June enough OF
the line will be located to begin grading.
1t is the intention to begin breaking dirt
both at Atlanta and Athens about the
same time, and hasten the completion OF
this link as fast as possible. The route
from Athens to the Savannah river has
pretty.we been settled on, but another
survey will be made as soon as the At
lanta end is located. Major Morrison is
now in North Carolina, and will be abb
sent about ten days. There is now no
doubt about the early completion OF the
Georgia, Carolina & Northern road.

COWUcU oOUT7tut.
To us it is never pleasant to speak Of a
man who has fallen. Adversely, al
though common to men, is generally the
break up among his fellow men. There
arc few people so generous or magnani-
nous AZ to regard with charity the mis-
fortunes OF his fellow man, and when the
clouds burst there are always, or nearly
1lauays, those who will forget the past
Join in the terrible cry Of the present.
Therefore we never like to say aught
against any one upon whom trouble has
fallen, but it does seem to us that there is
q point at which forbearance ceases to be
Virtue, and we so regard it in the case
Jefferson Davis, late President of. the
Confederate States. His garrulity, his
desire to contradict and stir up embers
among his brethren Of the army Is too
much to endure, and while we could COW
er him with charity, if he was veiled all
over in silence, yet we are tired Of his
nonsense, and we .fag under his love OF
discord and harsh criticism. He is ev-
er putting his foot into his own mouth,
and opens it only TO stir up strife, or to
wound the feelings of those who were
true to the cause which is now embalmed
in every Southern heart-although it is
dead.
For instance, his speech at the unveil-
ing ofthe monument to Albert Sidney
johnson, his acrimonious correspondence
with Beauregard, his everlasting desire
to be heard, when with him silence Is
gold, is enough to make us all wish that
with sword in hand he had given up his
life for the cause we all loved so much.
But so it is, and Mr.. Davis garrulity
upon every occasion has done much to
rtIiu us and we know it would have been
more fortunate for the country, and for
him, if he had fallen with some Of his
brave comrades.

Time Is Money.

A long time ago people invested large
amounts in gold watches. One hundred and
twenty five dollars before the war was not an
unusual price for q gold watch. Now, people
take a more practical business like view OF
the matter and very few expensive watches
are bought. A cheap watch-that can be
bought with less than half years interest on
the money necessary to buy an expensive
watch-takes the place OF these high priced
watches. Gold chains have almost disappear
ed. The same may be said Of silverware.
Very little silver is sold. The cheaper plated
ware takes Its place every where, and LOOKS
quite az we'll as the genuine silver.
